I also wasn’t planning on buying the packs because they’re so expensive. For a headset I can recommend you Turtle beach ear buds. I have them and they’re really good quality for a good price.
Most headsets are over-the-ear and have a boom/Mic because you get both stereo game sounds and chat.
I'm not 100%, but you might be able to simply pair a bluetooth device and use it for chat. Anything that plugs into your controller port works too (but I play on a older Xbox One S).
Yeah sorry
1. Tested it on discord and Geforce Experience, mic audio was heard both times (mic unplugged)
2. On my PC, doesn't have any Bluetooth connectivity so it shouldn't have connected to my phone or other devices
3. No other devices that should have mics are connected, ik for a fact that my monitor doesn't have one and my earbuds have a stick mic that you plug in, which was unplugged
4. Both software I used say that the audio is coming from my earbuds (amazon link) even though it shouldn't be able to.
Hope that's enough for now
For me at least, it doesn't hurt my ears at all. I see some people have an issue with in-ear buds but there are also people having no issue at all. You get ear parts for both ears and the mic is detachable. There is a sound controller that has a slider for adjusting volume and also has a mute button. It's compatible with all devices (ps4,5, Xbox one, Series S/X, Nintendo Switch, PC, mobile devices). All these for $20 seems a good deal for me.

For anyone whose like me and hates over-ear headsets and was looking for something that will work on both the PS5 and XSX for chat audio.
I just discovered these Turtle Beach BattleBuds absolutely perfect. They have a removable boom mic, plug into 3.35mm jacks, An inline mute switch, and they’re currently on sale for prime day at $20.
Here's what I have. It is solid if you don't want to buy a big over the head headset.

Are you looking for earbuds, IEMs or headphones? Do you have a budget in mind?
There are many possible options out there, but one I managed to find during my research last time is this:

If you have IEMs with replaceable cables, you may want to consider this:
This is high-end audio stuff though... Haha not really necessary for most of us.
I have these earbuds: great audio, great mic, great price.
Those are earbuds but if you’re interested in headsets I can recommend these ones:

I've never tried them, but i'd go with these if I had to get earbuds https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Battle-Gaming-Headset-Mobile-Nintendo/dp/B07MMF2CFN
Deal link: Amazon
I actually just purchased these
https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Battle-Gaming-Headset-Mobile-Nintendo/dp/B07MMF2CFN
Perfect for me to use on both systems
Turtle beach sells a pair with a boom mic, and it's only $30. May not have the best audio quality in the world, but it would be fine for gaming. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MMF2CFN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_JTPvFbG5WH114
these are an option. i’d look through the turtle beach options.
Always check the prices. The savings can be Knight and day.
